If you've ever had an issue with your solar inverter, you will be
very aware that time is of the essence when it comes to becoming
aware of the issue. As any downtime will be costing you dearly in
lost revenue.

SOLAR POWER MONITORING SYSTEMS are easily available nowadays,
where the data can be easily in your face 24/7, on your computer, the
internet or your mobile device. But what about on your wall? We hear
of big easy to read LCD displays, but what about a solar power
monitor with an easy to see display, taking up the entire wall? And
all made of wood!

This is what those ingenius students at Stanford University have
designed. As part of their sustainable house project called 'Start
Home', where they are researching energy efficient appliances and
ways to get off the power grid, they have designed what we would say,
is the world's first wall mounted wooden solar power monitor.

Featuring a series of opposing wooden slats which fan out or slide
together, relating to the solar system's efficiency and consumption
of power in the home. Watch the video for an insight, we certainly
praise the students for their ingenius, yet quirky design.

What we are offering here is a service, to get the data from your Current Cost ENVIR monitor, onto PVOutput.

PVOutput is a great web portal for monitoring both electricity consumption and solar power generation. The site though is very complex and like any open source site, comes with a complex learning curve to getting the system setup correctly.

So if you are lacking the time to learn, or the technical expertise to perform this task, we can help you. This is a worldwide service, to anyone with a Current Cost ENVI/R energy monitor.For more information please visit our SERVICES page, where you can find all of the information you need to get the ball rolling.

These interactive IN-HOME ELECTRICITY MONITORS provide information about real-time electricity
usage and costs, along with daily, weekly and monthly consumption.

Trials around the globe have
shown in-home electricity displays, can slash on average anywhere
from 5 to 18% off the electricity bill.

These electricity monitoring
systems, are easily upgraded to monitor any circuit in the home, be
it solar power, an air conditioning system or the granny flat.

The data collected by an
